It's perfectly satisfactory accommodation in a very convenient location. It's worth reading Holis' notes so you can easily find the supermarket, etc. Wifi in the apartment was flakey, but free wifi can be easily found in various places in the area. Note well, this is one of the 3 "red light" districts of BK, so it's busy 24/7 and if you're a white guy you'll be asked if you want a "massage" about every minute you walk on Soi 4. But there are ways to walk around it via side streets if it really bothers you. If you like a drink, you're spoiled for choice in this area. It's quite close to Nana BTS (skytrain) station, which can take you straight to MBK or Siam for less than $1. Plenty (and I mean plenty) of taxis around here also - my advice is to jump on the back of a motorbike taxi, it's cheap and much quicker. Hollis is a great host, very accommodating.
